Random observations from the Verizon Heritage on Wednesday:
1. Don't expect someone to yell "fore," even if a golf ball is about to hit you in the head. Saw a couple close calls today, mainly a result of the amateurs on the course.
2. Boo Weekley has a big ... gallery. It's not hard to find the back-to-back Heritage winner. Just follow the people who yell out, "I came to see you, champ!"
3. The sun makes me thirsty. I was quite thankful for the nine concession stands positioned throughout the course. You don't have to feel bad about it, either. All of the profits go to charity. Beer sales are picking up, I'm told. Stop by #15 if you want a free coozie or if you've already tossed a couple back and feel like drunk-dialing on Verizon's dime.
4. Intrepid sports reporter Justin Jarrett likes it when people cyber-stalk him. Visit his Twitter feed at www.twitter.com/justinjarrett.
5. There is a Grey Goose vodka house that I must visit, but I'm pretty sure an invitation is required. If anyone has connections, hook a brother up. Lowly journalists tend to gravitate toward these sort of things.
6. A parking lot full of beemers looks way better than a lot full of GMs. I'm just sayin'. BMW really stepped up to the plate when GM stopped providing courtesy cars for the players, who I assume are quite pleased with the last-minute change.
7. Saw an old guy dressed like Payne Stewart — knickers and all. God bless you, people.
